An updated Xfce desktop with Twister UI

Conclusions

Twister UI impressively demonstrates the possibilities offered by modular desktop environments such as Xfce even in their old age. The Twister UI developers have gone to great lengths to give the respective themes a coherent appearance. The fonts, icons, and the window and panel bar designs stick as closely as possible to the imitated operating system. This makes Twister UI especially suitable for users switching from other operating systems to Linux who desire a familiar working environment. The old Xfce desktop proves to be so versatile that even aficionados of other operating systems have to take a very close look to notice that it is a Linux system. As an added benefit, frugal resource requirements make Twister UI especially useful on older hardware.
